The Notorious GKAE MSK, Los Angeles Graffiti King | Classic Burners S1 E11

[@known_unknown284]

Dude, you are seriously a really good interviewer. It might not be obvious to some people as your approach is really low key, not really saying a lot. But when you do say something it’s obvious that you’ve really been listening and you choose these really key points that seem to tie into your world view and you just kind of lock in with the person on really interesting points. Great work. Really glad you have a platform. Separate point, but do people these days even know about Tyke? How the hell was that guy doing that stuff? Talk about advanced! Unbelievable. Looking back it seems even more insane.

[@knowledgegod2635]

For real. He actually will let the guest answer thoroughly and listens, follows up with great questions.

[@Frank_Rizzo]

Why isn’t this 4 hours long?

[@Peyote1312]

Seriously they could easily get a whole nother hour out of Gkae. Get SABER up in here. That dude loves to talk, has hella crazy stories, and is funny as hell. SABER SABER SABER! We Want SABER! Hook it up!!! Plz

Great editing. I love the flicks being dropped matching the conversation.

[@Vic30304]

Best graffiti interview, hands down, none of the boasting and stupid questions , I appreciate that thank you

[@Lordylbc]

“GKAE” was hands down the best / most up bomber of the mid 90s for sure 💯 a true legend …..

[@ryanmartin4053]

Of all the graffiti I saw on the freeway growing up, this guy stood out.

[@rudymarcello727]

Baby wake up a new Classics just dropped.

[@mess7355]

Im glad he's the head of MSK now. Seems really level headed.

[@jasonelliot7039]

GkAE is another true Legend !!!!

[@Billy-h1n8g]

If you didn’t experience SF during this historic period, There’s no way to explain how killed it was bl them. High quality from everyone! It was basically just ridiculous how much graffiti was produced.

[@RMS1983]

Gkae is my favorite writer. Dope episode!!

[@SoCal90sKid]

Oiler, gkae, gin and Duce. Some of my all time favorite freeway killers. Renis also killed it. Respects to the og’s.

[@DewYou-zn4ny]

Rip 🙏 Oiler,Sk8,Dream,and Nekst.

[@petervarady9156]

GKAE .. a living legend 🫡👑

[@rockybulldogs]

Oiler and Snap in the crowd talking mess lol and asking questions is hilarious lol

[@GoldenStateOfKind]

That talk show is the best 😂

[@johndoe-jl8jc]

Love when they put up hang out, and crew pictures. I went to different schools with most these guys.

[@theadicts3793]

Thank you for this interview and all the other ones as well! I looked up to GKAE and Oiler

[@jasonelliot7039]

When I was a teenager going to school to the valley, Every morning I would see GANK on different spots on the 405 freeway.

[@exorcist2000]

I was briefly introduced to GK through a mutual friend about 22 years ago when he was traveling through Central CA... he was such a mellow humble chill dude.... this dude is a living LEGEND.. i have a pic of a SKREW piece he did on a New Jersey PATH train he did.. havent seen that pic appear online anywhere .. hope he puts out a book on his life.. 💯💯💯💯

[@Big_Bird_Oner]

“I was never married to a any names I wrote.” I’m paraphrasing, but shit he nails it. One of the reasons I love this medium is because of its impermanence

[@chriscraft1859]

Brings me back to my roots...

[@WordLife89]

You’re doing a great job Skill. Would love to see someone interview you because I can only imagine all the stories and history of LA Graff you have. Cre8 as well.

[@topeklb]

Great interview!

[@CNTRMSR]

A true 1990s LA all-city legend. I'll never forget the hit up he did on the 10 East overpass columns that spelled out G - K - A - E in your rearview mirror as you drove by. Next level.

[@RafaelPerez-oc2jd]

I remember we went camping and I always had the tagg mags I seen him hit up in Rosarito

[@gallupswon]

I like how he hit up GKAE on the wall-Living Legend for sure!!

[@goudagalindo1790]

GKAE killed it!

[@drewwhy5541]

What a fantastic interview. Much respect to the homie G K. ❤

[@aceartdepot6198]

I met dude th3 other day he was painting a big mural for this new non profit building they built around the block from me he was mad cool and humbling he also gave me props on my work as I’m still active bombing everyday he said if this was la back In The 90s I would for sure b msk by the amount of work I put in in Philly lol he also said damn I don’t get asked to hit the black book I was like man if I had it u know without a doubt but I let my buddy hold it to put something in it n he passed it on and it’s currently on tour he got a laugh out of that

[@mwellmwell]

I vote Doom BC for the next one

[@pinchenacho1]

One of the best interviews so far.. shout out to Gkae from 160ER DAF you did your thing in LA bro and no one can take that from you..

[@Erik-fr2vo]

Dope interview

[@layla72]

That flick of BORD tho 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Skil Gkae 💯👑

[@manny5177]

Speaking of Tie, he's originally from Santa Clara which all my homies grew up with in a fresh style before he moved to SF. R.I.P Tie!!

[@commentedrelationship]

I was a kid in the 90s but CHAKA and GKAE were the guys who stood in my mind the most in terms of seeing them up everywhere. CHAKA was mostly tags but GKAE did more throwups in addition to tags.

[@madeinthe562]

Sick interview. Can you get Ozie YR or Ralos CTF CULT on?

[@joeycasillas5927]

Love your channel GOAT!!!

[@Erawk2084]

This channel is straight up the best…

[@Peyote1312]

Such a great channel. No BS. No filler. No unknown randos telling tall tales. Only straight legends speaking facts. And even the commercials are quick & straight to the point. And they're not BS products. Those tank stickers look dope, I just wish they were eggshells. You could probably do a whole nother episode on GKAE & OILER alone. Not to mention all the other legends you've had on. I haven't seen every episode yet, just those 2, but I'm sure they're all dope. My only complaint is that when u guys show pictures on screen, they only stay up for like a second or two. So I'm pausing my phone the whole interview to peep the photos. The only thing u could do better is simply leave the photos up on screen for like a good 5 or more seconds so we don't have to pause and interrupt the story just to scope the amazing old school photos. Besides that, you're killing it. Best Graff interview channel out there. Most of them have all kind of issues like a smoked out host who loses his train if thought, poor audio / video quality, or wack guests telling obviously tall tales. Etc. Dudes like OIL and GKAE have crazy enough stories they have no need to embellish. Please get SABER up in here. If you were able together GKAE, I'm sure you could get SABER. I think they're homies still. SABER is funny as hell, a great storyteller, and has crazy ass stories for days. There are already a few interviews of him on youtube and a lecture he did at an art school and they're both hilarious. I've rewatched them multiple times each. SABER AWR MSK, please bro. He'd be an amazing guest. Much love and respect. You guys are about to blow up like crazy if u keep doing interviews of this quality. I never even knew what OIL looked like. I don't think I've ever seen him sit for an interview besides those old fear-mongering news stories from Fox back in the day, but the homie was all masked up lol. Just keep up this quality, and you'll blow up. And keep the guest quality high. No street artists or snitches like Cope2 or Atomiko for example. Both snitches. Cope ratted on Ether & Utah as everyone knows. And Atomiko rated on the OIL from down in Miami. Who was a true bomber and didn't just do the same wack character over & over like Atomik. FYI.) Not like either of those dudes are L.A. cats but you get my point. Peace and keep up the excellent work. You're literally documenting the most important artistic movement of the late 20th / early 21st century. This will be shown in Art Schools in 100 years fr.

I remember that 5 freeway bomb I use to see it on my way to school when my dad would drive me my sister and my cousin

[@friscostreetstories5403]

Good interview, another banger. It's hard to tell your own story when the news and talk shows paint their picture . I feel like CHUNK n GK were some of the 1st AWR dudes I seen bomb SF mid 90s, they both had a dope spot on 7th and Market for years. From my own personal experience, writing the same word since highschool can be troublesome. Many of my classmates became cops and through the years (I'm 50 now) it's come to bite me back but whatever. Despite what many SF writers would like to admit, these cats moving to the city completely changed the game and taught us alot. Truth be told, the "problems" began with them putting 3 dots after every tag. I understand it did not originally have any gang meaning it was just "My Crazy Life"....but many SF crews have Norteno members and sympathizers and this was the issue. That shit might not mean anything in Detroit however this is Northern California. Now you have a situation where many Nor Cal heads have joined LA crews and there isn't the animosity that there always usta be even before Graff. It's getting busted for the "other" shit that has taken many of us out. Respect 2 ALL.

[@OGSOFA]

another great one!
